Madeline Andrews is an Assistant Professor in the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering. Her lab utilizes neural organoids, transplantation models, and omics approaches to study human brain development and disease. She is interested in the dynamic interactions in the cortical niche that inform how the brain is organized during normal and atypical development. Currently, her group is exploring how the interactions between neural and non-neural cell types, signaling interactions, and metabolism inform cell fate specification, organization, and morphological decisions.
